187. Intermittent Fasting For Women with Cynthia Thurlow Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

My special guest in this episode, Cynthia Thurlow, specializes in intermittent fasting for women. This lady is the GOAT (greatest of all time) for all women in this realm! Cynthia stands up for women to share the message that we as women have unique characteristics that make us very different from men especially in the correct way to intermittent fast. Applying techniques that men use to fast cannot be applied to women. Women are far too complicated to adapt to the same guidelines. So many great nuggets of info right here in this episode for just us ladies!

185. Don't Hang Your Hat on Your Numbers! You're More Than a Lab Value Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

Don't hang your hat on your lab values alone. We always must ask "HOW DO YOU FEEL?" This question is just as important as the numbers on the paper. Now if for example your free T3 or Reverse T3 are way off from a functional value standpoint, then there is your answer to why you're experiencing symptoms, but if your values are darn near optimal, but you still have symptoms, we have to look deeper! There is an answer!

184. Optimal Testosterone (GSD Hormone) Levels for Women Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

TESTOSTERONE: The GSD Hormone! Without it ladies, you won’t have motivation, you won’t be able to lose fat or gain muscle and you won’t have a libido. You essentially lose the ability to Get Shit Done. You want testosterone. You NEED testosterone. And not just a little…you want optimal levels.

Testosterone and your thyroid play a unique and interesting role together. Without an optimized thyroid NO-ONE can have optimal testosterone. Without optimal testosterone your body is under stress and can turn on the Hashimoto’s switch.

And just like we’ve all experienced with our thyroid labs…the “normal” range for testosterone (male and female values) does not equal optimal values.

183. Why Am I NOT Losing Weight? Mar 11, 2022

Show notes

I'm getting this question consistently in my practice...especially more recently. The frustration of not being able to lose weight especially when you believe you are doing ALL things right can lead to more doubt and questions. Here in this episode, I will talk about several reasons that may be contributing to your inability to shed weight or why you have plateaued. At the same time, remember the thyroid is the "master gland" and if the master controller is down, no matter what you do, you will NOT lose weight and most likely will gain weight.

182. WTH?! Functional practitioners freaking out over suppressed TSH! Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Is your functional practitioner freaking out over a suppressed TSH?

First, be careful of functional medicine practitioners that actually do not treat and test their patients functionally! Second, I want to state that a suppressed TSH is not a problem UNLESS your Free T3 and Free T4 lab values are severely elevated and you actually are in a hyper state! Grab important info in this episode as to why a suppressed TSH may be expected.

We need to stop the TSH madness! Be your own patient advocate and start knocking at the door of your functional practitioner that is using TSH alone to diagnose and treat you!

Show notes

Here's the tried and tested answer to how you should actually eat if you have Hashimoto's! Are you tired of diets, diet advice and epic fails? I know you’re confused with everyone and their brother telling you how you SHOULD eat. Guess what...they’re wrong. That’s why you keep giving up and that’s why you have “screw it syndrome”. We need to get you eating the RIGHT way once and for all. Enough already...

180. You're Not a Tough Case! Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

I hear it so often...so many patients tell me I am going to be your most difficult case! Let me tell you why you are incorrect. Ever heard the term medical gaslighting? Here it is...doctor after doctor you have been told nothing is wrong yet symptoms persist. Symptoms are signs that tell us we need to dig deeper. Let me say it again .. You are not a tough case! When I meet with patients and look at the details the labs indicate (not just high, low or normal) and how they tie together, it becomes a beautiful symphony that can piece your puzzle together. Labs give such detailed info that when read correctly guide us to proper treatment for you and reversal of symptoms.

179. Leptin and Starvation (low calorie) Diets Feb 25, 2022

Show notes

You can't hide it from us...we can see this in your labs...you've been starving yourself with 1,000-1,200 or less calories per day. You've been worried about that stubborn weight gain so from the misinformation you've heard, you feel you must drop your caloric intake to get a handle on the frustration of putting the pounds on.

Let me in this episode break it down what you are actually doing to your body. Bottom line...if you starve yourself, your body will hold onto fat for dear life! It will drop your T3 levels, it drops your leptin levels and then you are hangry all the time...and you wonder why you're hungry? You're starving yourself.
